C, Saturday, December 24, 1921 5 cents each. Children's Christmas free and Entertainment at Alice Arm The Children's Christmas Tree !nd Entertainment held at Alice Kvm, on Wednesday, was a most lueoessful affair. 'The hall was irowded to capacity and everyone ofch young and old, spent a very njoyable evening. The evening's utertainment commenced with ^citations and songs by the child- 3n. and some of the older children ave an exhibition of first-class locution, and the audience thor- aghly appreciated the efforts of ihe rising generation of the town. [t is impossible to make special mention of any of the kiddies, all were good and thoroughly earned the applause given them. Great credit is due to Miss Boa, the school-mistress and also to the Ipareiits of the children. Mr. 'C. P. iliel, secretary of the School Board landled the programme in a most fticient manner. Santa Claus, who happened to be passing, then made his appear- since. The huge Christmas Tree ivas' lighted, and he then distributes, bags, of nuts, candies and granges to the children. This took jonsiderable time and the reindeer, who were outside in the cold were getting restless and impatient, so he requested Teddy Kergin and Henry Carney to go outside and keep them quiet. He however, got through his happy task at last, and made a run for the door and was off to the next Christmas party I before the children realized he was gone and the, sleigh bells could be plainly heard ringing in line- still, frosty, star-light air, as he sped oh his errand of mercy to another Christmas party. > (Alice Arm Skating Rink Open Today The Alice Arm Skating Rink will be open for skating today, (Saturday) both in the afternoon and evening. The skating enthusiasts have put in a lot of hard work during the week, preparing the ice, which is now in first-class oondition, They were successful in connecting with Mr. J. Strom- beck's water system and plenty -of water is now obtainable. The public are advised that now is" the time to buy their tickets. Gents, $10.00: Ladies, $5.00: and Children, $2.50. These tickets are good for the whole season. Be a booster and buy a ticket. It is an expensive undertaking to keep the home fires burning these days'. Granby Schools The close of the regular school duties in preparation for Christmas, completes a term marked by definite extension of Granby Consolidated School activity. Consolidation of government sohools and promulgation of High Schools status effected administrative simplification and recognition by the University of British Columbia, The installation of free lunch facilities, whereby, under Mrs. Baxter's skilful management hot chocolate is provided for elementary school boys and girls in separate luneh rooms and for the young ladies of the high school, in the library, places Granby schools in the. forefront regarding progressive attention to the physical needs of the children. At the same time the unosten- tious but efficient policy of the School Board, conferred the benefit of competent medical attention to the interests of Granby pupils. Our popular school nurse, Miss .GamliUp._ha8. achieved, immediate success in the response of, the children, to maintain a school deportment as commendable as their excellent home training would warrant. In addition, her frequent visits afford the expert scrutiny so desirable to provide successful medical care on*the first appearance of warning, symptoms. As a natural consequent, this Christmas term has been the first one on record which has not been marred by the deleterious effects of an^pedemic. The comprehensive Polytechnic programme furnished very interesting and valuable occupation to the studious members of the commiitity The harmonius inception of the Granby Bay Parents-Teachers Association at its, first regular session, on December 10th, was: enhanced by a clear statement • of its fundamental constitution. The re-iteration of its autonomous position made at the following mine meeting of the Anyox Community League, met with a ready,i courteous response from the President of that organization, who. promised to give ample publioity to a retraction of minutes purporting to epitomize a misinterpreted interview kindly granted by him to the Principal. The Anyox Lodge No. 47, B. P. O. E. held their Annual Memorial Service on Sunday, December 11th, in the .Elks Hall. A large number of members and their wives attended. This service was postponed from December 4th, on account of inclement weather. " ■ CHRISTMAS GREETINGS This is the first Christmas publication of the Herald and we hasten to extend the season's Greetings to all our readers, and wish them all a right joyous and merry Christmas, and we hope to have the pleasure of doing the same for a good many years to come. Death of Miss Jessie McKay, at Anyox The many friends of Miss Jessie McKay, better known as Jessie Roberts, was shocked to hear of her death last Friday, morning. Though Jessie' has been an invalid for a number of years, she has been able to get about arid attend school until about a month ago when she took to her bed. On Sunday, Deeemk#llthi- a change for the worse took place and up to the time of death she never spoke, a.utt passed quietly away at the home of her parents, on Friday morning. She was laid to rest on Sunday afternoon. A short service for the relatives.was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. Roberts, followed by a public service in the Union Church, at which many of Jessie's friends old and young were present. • The last rites were performed by the Rev. J. Heidman, assisted, by Ensign Reader. Jessie was the only' daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A.

The Dawn of Prosperity All indications now point to a .world-wide activity of business and the coming spring should see a marked change for the improvement of conditions generally. The successful conclusion of the Limitation of Armaments Conference at Washington will prove a great factor towards bettering conditions throughout the world. The settlement of the Irish problem will immeasureably stabilize British industry and finances and from all appearances Great Britain will soon' be hitting her pre-war stride in manufacturing. The election of a Liberal Government will go a long way towards improving conditions in Canada and a few months should see a decided change for the better. The late government was overthrown principally on account of their reckless spending of the public money, and the liberal party were elected by the people to reduce this expenditure to a minimum and so reduce the heavy burden of taxation which the people of Canada has at present to bear. Mr. Fred Stork, the liberal candidate, has been elected to represent us in the Federal Parliament. He is a man that has lived in the district for a good number of years. He knows the needs of the district thoroughly and we can rest assured that he will use his best efforts to give this district its just dues. Everyone should give him a helping hand irrespective of their political views and by helping our member at Ottawa, we are helping to develop the vast and rich riding he represents, and in doing so, we are taking our part in helping to build up a strong and virile Canadian nation, which will, in future years be the admiration and the envy of the world. Alice Arm First The election is over and will soon be ancient history. It is impossible for all of us to hold the same political views, and now that the excitement has grown cold, let us all get together and work for the good of the district in which we are living. Let us remember that we are citizens of Alice Arm first. Let us work together for the benefit of the town all the time, and let us eliminate the political jealousies that has blighted and ruined the future of many a promising young town in this great Canadian west. Farmer Ready to Take up Land in Naas Valley A letter was received last week by Mrs. H. H. Carney, postmistress of Alice Arm, from Weston, Oregon, U. S. A, requesting information regarding the condition of the road between Alice Arm and the Naas Valley. The letter whieh is printed below is sufficient evidence to show that as soon as a road is built that farmers from all over Canada and the United States will flock to this fertile valley laying at our door. The following letter is one of several that has reached the local post office recently requesting information regarding transportation facilities of the Naas Valley. Weston, Oregon. Nov. 25th, 1921 Postmaster of Alice Arm, Sir: We suppose you are in a position to know the condition of the road between your town and Aiyansh. We have been told that there is good land on the upper Naas River and are thinking of locating there. Is the road suitable for hauling from Alice Arm across to the dipper Naas, as we aim to come by steamer to Alice Arm from Seattle. At what time in the spring is the earliest that a man could haul a load across,? Any information that you can give us to help us out will be greatly appreciated. , Do you know if the meadow land there is good farming land or not.? We have heard that there is lots of good bottom meadow land open for premption. Thanking you in advance for your reply, we remain, Yours truly, Not having permission from the writer of the above letter we could not publish his name.—Ed. Subscriber: "You print some awful stuff in your paper." Editor: "Well, you should just see some of the stuff we don't print." Bear River Bridge at Stewart to be Repaired News comes from Stewart that the damage done to the Bear River bridge by the high water this fall is to he repaired this winter,: and preparations are already being made. , It is reported that the estimated cost will be about $20,000. The people of Stewart are certainly to be congratulated on having a bunch of real progressive, live citizens in their midst. They are out to work for Stewart all the time and the manner in which they negotiated with the government for the repair of the Bear River bridge, was a masterpiece. The government admires a bunch of live wires even if they do worry them a little at times. The Citizens Association of Stewart does not intend to let any of the citizens of that town go outside looking for a job this winter if they can help it. Meanwhile, Alice Arm is still waiting for word from Victoria, regarding the wing dam and Kitsault .River bridge. B. P. O.

[ Figures'now available show that le consumption of copper in the Inited States during October was 10,000,000 pounds. This beats all revious records in monthly con- kmptioii, even established in war pe, local producers say. | The last of the British supply of pap copper—aftermath of the far—has just been disposed of by ' War Disposals Board, advices Jate. This 25,000,000 pounds wai iistantly absorbed by the market Bid England is now in tho poten- |'al buyers column. These two factors have had a ry strengthening effect upon the Imorican copper market. The rgest metal sales agency in the |Tniterl States yesterday refused to copper either for domestic msumption or export at 15 cents pound. This same concern Attempted without success to secure from the copper export association ):00,000,000 pounds of copper to (iiigment its fast-vanishing domes- stocks. The Copper Export Association, which was organized [a year ago to move the 400,000,000 Jnds surplus which was then glutting the market, refused to consider this proposition, it is {stated. With many of the principal Jnited States producers closed and in no position to resume operation for two or three months at least, local eopper men look to a distinct revival in the industry in this province. ' The days of low-priced copper, when prices hovered between 11 and 12 cents, have definitely passed local men in touch with market conditions think. It has been announced r that immediate criminal prosecution of the responsible managers of. the Britannia Mines will be undertaken by the attorney-general's department at Victoria. The action is the outcome of the. loss of some thirty-six lives at Britannia Beach, when heavy rains washed out the dam and allowed the floods to descend upon the mining town. Negligence on ^he part of the managers in protecting human life will be charged. A deal involving two of the most important metal producing and refining companies in the United States was recently completed, when the largest individual stockholders iu the American Brass Company agreed, subject to minor conditions, to sell out to the Anaconda Copper Mining Company Terms of the Anaconda Company are $150 cash and three shares of stock for one share of American Brass.

Sydney Davis, P. 0. Box 115, Anyox Mr. and" Mrs. Tom Murphy at the Mine, are receiving congratulations this week on the birth of a fino bouncing boy. We understand that Master Tom is to have charge of the "Hook and Ladder Brigade" at the mine. Mr. Ed. Anderson of the mine received some very bad scalp wounds while on duty this week as blaster. Ed. is holding his own and the Doctors and nurses are sparing no pains in their attention to him. Mrs. Anderson and children have the sympathy of the whole community The funeral of Mr. and Mrs. Alex Roberts daughter, Jessie, took place .last Sunday. Everyone knew Jessie. She suffered practically all her life and never murmured at all. Everyone extends to Alex and his wife • and family every sympathy in their hour of trial. Dr. .Simmons the local dentist, left on Monday to spend Christmas with his family in Vancouver. Anyone suffering from toothache during the absence of the dentist can be relieved at the liquor store. Fred Brown has a stock of goods, that will, if taken in sufficient quantities kill any kind of an ache known. Anyox is to be congratulated on its Doctors and nurses. We doubt if such interest has ever been taken in the needs of those seeking advice and attention. We congratulate the company on getting together such a good working organization, as they have at present. Those paying their monthly dues are more than pleased with the service being given. On Monday, there was great rejoicing in the camp over a large consignment of wet goods which arrived on the Union boat for the local liquor store. Unfortunately the Pipers Band were unable to be at the wharf owing to a previous engagement. Never have the citizens of Anyox received such a welcome shock, and it is doubtful if they will get over it until after the New Yoar," at least. The Salvation Army, under the direction of Ensign Reader, held a very successful Christmas Tree and Party at tho mine, ou Wednesday evening. The kiddies had a grand time. Presents were distributed to them all, and everyone voted it an A 1 time. The Granby Stores as usual are well equipped to handle the Christmas trade. Intending purchasers are requested to shop early. Keep your eye on the Store advertise- in the A. A. & A. Herald for special sales in each department. One of the government officials in town recently discovered three lumps of coal' in his last consignment. He was so surprised, at his find that it is doubtful if he would have recovered from the shock had not the liquor vendor been able to prescribe to his wants in a very satisfactory manner. The Elks Club were at home on Thursday, to its members', wives and families. The hall was beautifully decorated for the occasion and the committee who'were in charge are to be congratulated on their splendid work. And the children, what a time they had, no one could do too much for them that night. It would be out of order to single out any special individual for his work in making it a/ red letter night for the kiddies. Everyone joined in and it was hard to tell finally who were the children. The Elks Club is soon to start a pool and cribbage tournament. It looks like some time too by all account, It was the Grand Opening day on Thursday at the liquor store. At present it is the only store in town where the customers do not quote "Timothy Eaton" prices in comparison with local prices. Fred Brown, the liquor vendor and. Jimmy Esplin, his assistant are to be congratulated on the business-like manner they handled the needs of the long-suffering and thirsty public. We expect Christmas Day to be the longest day in the year on account of local conditions. Will the parties who \jere heard singing "How Dry I am" early on Thursday morning outside the liquor store* kindly leave their names at the Post" "Office so that they can claim their reward. Mr. E. J. Leggett and Mr. Jones of the Coke Plant, left on Thursday for Vancouver. Last Friday was the closing of the public schools for the Christmas holidays. The pupils of Miss Leich, Miss McColl and Mr. South- am were treated' to parties and by all accounts everyone had a most enjoyable time. On Sunday morning, quite early, some of the Elks from the local herd wandered iu the direction of Alice Arm and after browsing for some hours arrived back with a large quantity of Christmas decorations. The Anyox Ex-Service Association held a largely attended meeting at the Elks Hall, on Wednesday evening. Don't forget the Elks New Year Dance, on December 31st. Dancing 8 to 12. Everybody come and help ring in the New Year. On Wednesday, the Granby Company were delivering Christmas trees to every house in town. The skating rink at the mine is very popular and is enjoyed by young and old. Over $200 has been paid in for season tickets. The ice is first-class. Mr. A. S. McDonald, our local tailor, left on Thursday to spend Christmas in Prince Rupert. The postmaster and staff are exceptionally busy these days, but it will soon be all over for another year.
